11. Not what happened. Your quote is false and misleading.

Context matters. Here’s the quote you’re referring to, in which Tapper lists all reactions to the policy. Directly from the show transcript:

Leading Democratic lawmakers are hailing the president's move today, calling it, quote, a giant step forward in addressing the student debt crisis, but some key parts of the president's coalition say the move does not go far enough. And some Democrats and many Republicans say this is nothing but a handout on the backs of taxpayers at a time the country cannot afford it.

Tapper himself isn’t saying what you allege, and he certainly didn’t say what you put in quotations.

This is how reporting the news works. He’s not there to tell you what you want to hear in order to make you feel better; he’s there to tell you what’s happening. If you don’t want to know what’s actually happening, why watch a news program in the first place?
